    • ....when the tacho starts swinging back and forth like a crazy metronome.

      • When you have to hold the vent window in place with packing tape cos it's come unglued from all the things that hold it in place, despite repeatedly gluing it up with fancy glue...

        When the boot lid gently closes on your head when getting stuff out of the boot.

        When the boot lock becomes difficult in the cold and damp so you can't shut the hatch when you just want to get home.

        When the clutch cable wears clean through the retaining eyelet on the gear box resulting in no clutch action. Solution - cable ties

                    • You get back into it and think that it is easier and more enjoyable to drive than the MKV. I love that feeling a MK1 gives back to you when you love it unconditionally, faults and all.
